POTTSTOWN — Calling all ghouls, goblins and golems; all vampires, zombies and spirits of the un-dead —we need you.

Well, specifically, the Pottstown Mason’s lodge needs you (or, actually, actors pretending to be all those things and more) for a haunted house attraction being planned for the lodge next month.

The event will be organized and run by Mike’s Brick Oven Pizza owner Mike Crater and Kris Matias, who for nine years staged the popular Horror Hotel attraction behind the pizza parlor at North Charlotte and East streets.

About 25 volunteer actors age 17 and older are needed for each of the seven nights the attraction will be open, but actors need not commit to each and every night, only as many as they choose.

The scheduled nights are Oct. 11, 12, 13 along with Oct. 18, 19 and Oct. 25, 26 and the event will run from 6 to 10 p.m.

More importantly, training for all actors who want to participate as their favorite monster or creepy-crawly, will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, which is located at 20 N. Franklin Street between King and High streets.

Those interested in volunteering must show up for the training. For more information, call 484-948-8317.
